If the headlights have gone opaque - they can be polished up (if that is why they need changing) with loads of 'how to'guides online and on youtube,otherwise I am afraid I have not bought any recently.

Also, if it is just opaque lenses that you can easily sort out as said above, replace the bulbs with Philips Ultras or Osram Nightbreakers to improve the light output.

Can you not remove one to check? Different trim levels might mean different bulb types, ie either a single dual filament H4 or separate H7 for dip beam and main beam.
